FLINT TWP., MI – For the second time since mid-May, a recall petition has been filed against Flint Township Supervisor Karyn Miller.

On Friday, June 20, resident LaVonna Harris filed a recall petition against Miller, alleging she "voted for an operational deficit budget for 2014."

The Genesee County Elections board, made up of County Clerk John Gleason, Treasurer Deb Cherry and Chief Probate Judge Jennie Barkey, will meet at noon on July 2 in Barkey's courtroom for a hearing on the issue.

Miller said even though the budget dipped into the fund balance, it was still a balanced budget according to the state.

"This is mid-2014," she said. "We don't know what's going to be spent until the end."

But, on May 29, the election board voted unanimously to reject that language.

Because of 2012 changes to Michigan recall laws, recall language has to deemed "clear and factual" before proceeding to the petition phase.

If enough signatures are reached – 25 percent of number of votes in the most recent gubernatorial election – the official would be on the following ballot, seeking a "partial-term" along with any others willing to run.
